Your PCa seems to be taking an unusual path but you have thought things through and as you say if it gets get really bad, you have the enlightened assisted dying in OZ. Unfortunately, in the UK Parliament has talked a lot about it then it gets put on the back burner like so many other questions they don't want to answer. My wife died of dementia, pneumonia and starvation last year, When I visited her in the care home I could hear her screaming before I even got to her room. This continued throughout my visit and after I left until exhausted she fell asleep. Had assisted dying been provided in the UK, she would have not have had to endure several weeks of pain and anguish. PCa can also be a rotten death and whether it's because of this or something else, I hope the Bill will be enacted here soon.

Hi jfd

Can I ask what specific treatment you were advised would flare up your heart failure?

My dad is in a similar situation to you where he has multiple health issues, one of which is heart failure. He was prescribed Zoladex 12 months ago and since then he’s been admitted in hospital twice for fluid on his lungs which he had never experienced before starting Zoladex. He’s now rapidly declined and barely has the energy to get out of bed and we are wondering if this is being made worse by the Zoladex.

We don’t seem to have had as good advice as you regarding the heart failure and due to the multiple health issues we are just getting passed round in circles.

Any advice you could give would be much appreciated, thanks Lucy

Thanks for the update, jfd. Terrific news. I hope that your bone scan results and PSA tests are as good.👍
